DATE: February 1, 2013
TO: Planning Commission (February 11, 2013 meeting)
FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director 86
SUBJECT: Public Hearin (Application 2013-02): Consider a Conditional Use Permit
for Motor Vehicle Repair at 5215 Lakeland Avenue North (Rusty and Sons
Auto Repair)
Please note that this application has supplanted one previously submitted by a different
applicant (Premier Automotive Trends) for the same tenant space. That application was
reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission on January 14, 2013, but the
property owner subsequently leased the space to Rusty and Sons Auto Repair, and
Premier Automotive Trends withdrew their application on January 23, 1093,
A. BACKGROUND
The subject property is a 1.4 acre parcel containing a 27,600 sq. ft. building and
associated parking lots. The building has multiple tenant spaces with an address range
of 5211-5223 Lakeland Avenue North.
The property is zoned 1-1 Light Industrial. Motor vehicle repair is permitted in this
location by Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Notice of the Planning Commission's
February 11, 2013 public hearing was mailed to property owners within 350 feet of the
subject property and published in the Sun Post on January 31, 2013. No comments
have been received to date.
The following Exhibits are attached:
A. Spring 2009 (overhead) aerial photos
B. Fall 2011 (oblique) aerial photo
C. Narrative submitted by the applicant
B. STAFF COMMENTS
A conditional use permit may be granted for the proposed use provided that the
following requirements are met (515.53 Subd. 4j):
1) The property abuts at least 1 of the following street segments:
5215 LAKELAN❑ - CUP (Rusty and Sons Auto Repair)
PAGE 1 OF 3
• Lakeland Avenue/Bottineau Boulevard between the Canadian
Pacific Railroad and 56th Avenue North.
• West Broadway between Corvallis Avenue and 56th Avenue North.
• Winnetka Avenue between 36th Avenue North and a point 660 feet
north of 36th Avenue North.
2} The facility meets the following separation distances and hours of operation
requirements. For the purposes of this section, "facility" means any building or
any part of the lot where the city council determines that it is likely that vehicles
will be driven, stopped, or parked as part of the operations of the motor vehicle
repair business.
i} No such facility shall be located less than 50 feet from any property zoned
R-1, R-2 or R-3.
ii} If the facility is located at least 50 but less than 100 feet from property
zoned R-1, R-2 or R-3, then it may not be open before 7:00 a.m. or after
7:00 p.m.
iii] If the facility is located at least 100 but less than 250 feet from property
zoned R-1, R-2 or R-3, then it may not be open before 6:00 a.m. or after
9:00 P.M.
iv) If the facility is located at least 250 feet from property zoned R -'I, R-2
or R-3, then no hours of operations restriction is specified by this
Code.
37 There is no outdoor parking or storage of vehicles that are to be worked on, are
being worked on, or have been worked on.
The applicant indicates that outdoor storage will not be necessary
beyond the usual customer and employee parking. There is sufficient
existing parking area for the proposed use.
4} The city council finds that there will be adequate screening and buffering
between the establishment and adjacent uses.
The only residential uses in the area are screened by the Bottineau
Boulevard approach to the bridge over the CPRR tracks.
5} The city council determines that all applicable requirements of subsection
515.05, subdivision 3 a} and section 524 are considered and satisfactorily met.
a} 515.05 5ubd. 3 a}: In addition to specific standards or criteria included in
the applicable district regulations, the following criteria shall be applied in
determining whether to approve a conditional use permit request:
5215 LAKELAN❑ - CUP (Rusty and Sons Auto Repair)
PAGE 2OF3
1 j The consistency of the proposed use with the comprehensive plan.
2) The characteristics of the subject property as they relate to the
proposed use.
3) The impact of the proposed use on the surrounding area.
The city council may impose transferability limitations, renewal
requirements, hours of operation limitations or other operational
restrictions as a condition of approval of any conditional use permit if
determined by the council to be necessary to address anticipated impacts
of the proposed use.
The existing transportation infrastructure is adequate and well suited
for the proposed use. The proposed use is consistent with Light
Industrial guidance in the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed use as
described would not negatively impact the surrounding area
provided that it is accommodated on the subject property, does not
spill onto adjacent public streets or private property, and operates in
compliance with city code including the CUP conditions.
b) Section 520 (Site Plan Review)
Does not apply in this case because the building and site
improvements are already in place.
C. REQUESTED ACTION
Staff recommends approval of the requested conditional use permit for Rusty and Sons
Auto Repair at 5215 Lakeland Avenue North. The recommended findings of fact are in bold
text in Section 6 of this report.
If the Planning Commission is in agreement with staff, then the findings of fact from the
staff report should be referenced in the motion. If not, alternate findings of fact, and
conditions (if any) should be stated in the motion.
Planning Commission action is requested in the form of a recommendation to the City
Council. The City Council will consider the application on February 5, 2013.
